Re: IFI Operator Interface Power Consumption

That was on the DC side with everything connected. It may be the meter though... I don't like the ones at the school. But I can take a picture if you like...

I measured it very carefully too (Going to Kevin). It wasn't the most ideal solution, but something quick, easy, and cheap. I stuck the probe of the multimeter into the center hole of the adapter (don't take that the wrong way either ). Then I used some wire that was around the classroom and hooked it straight from the outside of the adapter plug and touched the exposed metal on the OI end. I touched the other probe to the back of the plug on the OI. Hopefully that all makes sense.

Again, I believe the meter is giving bad readings (it's some off brand one that the state gives the school for their techapp classes.)
